Is this possible...?

In an effort to streamline our patching cycles, we are trying to create a job in our production environment that disperses a list of jobs to run in other clients. I was thinking it might be nicer to be able to query the information rather than having script to process files. And that it wouldn't make much sense to create a full SQL DB just for this. It would be more convenient to have a Microsoft Text Driver DB from ODBC data sources and just query out of that. Is there a way to connect to an ODBC data source directly from UC4 to Query from the file?
